“when she’s angry, she’s probably hungry.”
yes.
I'm crying this is so accurate hahahaha

half of them went to the wrong side and then switched sides when the camera cut
Lol I'm sure he processed it as he 'disagrees' with the 'R' word

So?.....
It's nothing to point out, but they were actually just representing the people in the world, who actually disagree that the "r word" is not a bad word, which it is, and there is a law that was put into place, where doctors can't even use it. And they're also putting child development classes in schools, so General Ed and Special Ed's take them.

"Oh em gee! This video has people like me in it! That means I'm in it too!"
Pathetic.
Sean seems like a cool dude. Some comments and videos ive seen online be wild tho. Dude was so wholesome, and gave everyone respect and love. And i rock with that.
I agree, he's legit and it's sad what people are saying. It's mainly just a bunch of kids leaving these comments who are blindly following those who have an audience who hate on others...kid or adult, most people can't think for themselves wether that be ego or other reasons.
nah why he hug Matthews girl like that 💀
Yeah, people make fun of him for picking the wrong side but it could be easy to mess that up

Yes, every time me and My husband end Up in a fight 95% of the time I am just hungry, or and tired 😹
I love how here was also one young lady who needs more help. Because while it is so great to see people with down syndrome and making money etc, there are a lot of people with down syndrome and other disabilities who needs more help during their whole life. And we should know it is ok and no one has failed, we are human beings and we see value in life no matter how able one is. It is priviledge to serve and help. How pure can a heart be? I see Gods presence in their eyes.
This.

@@GiftieMuenda yes! 🤭
That was true gold
Many couples can learn from them
I'm really impressed with Matthew his responses took me by surprise. I never judge these people but he's opened my eyes a little wider to them
What a lovely episode! This made me emotional, people need to listen and take notes. Beautiful to see people confident in themselves. Wonderful to witness true love. Great job guys❤
The guy in the blue polo shirt is very thoughtful. He said he recognizes that he has many difficulties due to his condition and wants to understand how well he would be able to care for children before making the decision to have kids. That’s much better than just having a kid and figuring it out later
True! He seemed the most self aware/self concious.
Theres a spectrum here and he was probably highest functioning on that spectrum, at least it appears that way in the video.
He's more cognizant than most adults!
Something that can't be said about most people
I wish all people thought about that before having kids 🖤
I love how they showed Grace while others talked so we understand her thoughts too
It can depends of a lot of aspects of the syndrome. They are not all « affect » the same way. I had work with some people with DS and it’s not unusual for me to not quite understand them
@@sophiepomerleau708 what
Yeah I recently started a job working with people that developmental disabilities. many have down syndrome and few of them are nonverbal. however, u can still get an idea how they're feeling and how to communicate with them.
Nah fr. ❤️
Matthew is the most self aware of all. All of them where smart but was very surprised by Matthews ability to express himself SO WELL! Best group of people you could have chose! Shoutout to Sean aswell! And everybody!
I loved this! These people were very well-spoken and have very great outlooks on everything, i think these guys could seriously start a company, like they are very motivated and forward-thinking and I feel they would be very successful in starting their own business. bravo, guys!!
The way she says „thank you mommy“ made my heart smile. Everyone needs help, no matter what, so nobody should be afraid to ask for it.💕
Im saying. Dat made a gangster cry!

@@Wtahc cease and desist
You can definitely tell Megan is a public speaker, her confidence, she just knows what to say, her everything I can’t describe it but you can just tell.
I loved and felt really proud of her being so outgoing, being so clear about her visions and telling that she was beautiful. I really wish I was more like her. She doesn´t let her disability being in the way from her happiness and success. I love it!!
Fr she seems like such a smart and confident woman
Bruh she literally said public speaking is her career 💀
dud i hope one day that i have half of her confidence
she’s also so pretty
They have more confidence and love for themselves than I do! Each of them is really unique and special in their own way but all of them are confident and love who they are and THAT is very admirable!!
I wonder how many of these people were greatly persuaded into their opinions from the people around them

@@shadyman3351 godbless
That is literally never the case
AGREED 100% 🥰
Reading the comments made me want to share some lessons i had to learn (mostly the hard way) from doing a club with children with IDDs like Down syndrome:
1) No baby talk. They are not babies. I’ve seen people baby talk people to with Down Syndrome that are actually older
2) Encourage independence, but don’t push them beyond their abilities. We tend to try to push people to do unrealistic things and we tend to get offended when people acknowledge their own limitations.
3) Please don’t describe them (in general) as you would a pet. “People with Down syndrome are great for families and kids; they’re always so happy and sweet; they’re always fun; they’re so cute 🥰” It can be well meaning and saying it about individuals isn’t bad, but you also don’t want to make sweeping generalizations as if you’re trying to convince someone to keep them around or something
4) Ask them what offends them or what doesn’t, or ask their parent/guardian/caregiver if they aren’t able to articulate certain boundaries. And then respect whatever answer you get.
Edit: I forgot one last thing. Do not put the pressure on them to be your moral compass, an example of “how everyone should be,” or as heroes. This is also well-meaning, but the truth is, you are saying that people should be like them *because of their disabilities*, and not because of individual characteristics. And not every person with DS is well-adjusted, independent, self-aware, or particularly nice, but they cannot always help that. To put them on a pedestal ignores the very real struggles they have to go through. Compliment individuals rather than in general
As an abled person, it’s impossible to get everything right without some correction, but we can make the world a better place if we listen to and respect each other
I hate how people typically treat people with cognitive disabilities as if they are a cute pet, or a baby. It’s just weird…
I have family with down syndrome and I was thinking of these things reading through the comments. Thank you so much
10000% all of this!!
this!!!! there is nothing that makes my blood boil more than seeing someone talk about/to a disabled person like they are a child
You said it perfectly ❤️❤️
“Do what you can do the best” is a very powerful statement.
These peoples happiness is absolutely contagious.
You can just feel the warmth and love radiating off of them. More people need to meet a person with Downsydrome, it could change a lot of perceptions of what people are and can be.
Sean is so positive and he would be a great friend to have. His vibes are unmatched, cool ass dude and when he hugged the girl at the end my heart melted
I would love to have an un judgmental friend like that. So refreshing! Wish them the very best in life. ❤️
I wish there were more people like him
I underestimated people with down syndrome out of my own ignorance of what they are capable of. Thank you for making this episode and for the participants helping me learn more about the condition.
Thank you for your sincerity (it was the same for me), and the kind comment that will surely help someone else reach a similar position towards this topic.
Same! They’re all so articulate and passionate about what they say! It definitely opened my own eyes and taught me a lot!
This makes me so happy. I hope everyone can learn to view people with DS (and people with all disabilities) as capable, autonomous individuals.
Same. I did not know people with Downs Syndrome could be high functioning or even somewhat functioning and can have jobs until recently. I'm glad we have companies like Jubilee that are working hard to dispel stereotypes like this.
I feel the same way.
I have the privilege to work with a group of actors with Down syndrome. I’ve worked with them once and have another opportunity this April. This past experience was genuinely one of the best experiences in high school for me. My cousin has Down syndrome, so it was really amazing to see how talented and amazing she can become in spite of her circumstances, and i met some genuinely amazing people through it.
Best motivational video on yt.
I'm not even a downie but I respect the motivation and power
Me too, especially when they talk about their self worth, no matter what hand we are dealt we should all be grateful for what we have.
"It could be the start of a beautiful friendship." The way she said that was unbelievably charming and really won the argument.
@Isaac Duran wym
Honestly tho 😭
Exactly
Now why can't we be like her and get along?
You aren’t very logical if the winner of an argument is decided by cuteness
The overall positivity in this video and community they foster is something I strive for!

I think that if Grace had trouble communicating she should have had an interpreter by her the entire time, or help communicating her thoughts better. You can tell she had lots of feelings! It was nice her mom came out and helped her that one time, she seems so sweet 💕
Yes that should be a basic right - having whatever tools or assistants needed for communication
It would have been nice. In the video with autistic people one of them had an interpreter or therapist or something similar with them (can't remember the exact title), so I'm sure it could be allowed but maybe Grace wanted to be up their on her own to show independence! or the mom didn't want to be filmed, who knows.
She probably had the choice but declined. There's no reason Jubilee wouldn't allow it.
Yeah I agree. I don't have down syndrome but feel like that would be me. I am shy, so if I was in front of the camera I think I would be even more shy.
"thank you mommy" and her mom smiled so big had me tearing up
i tried to watch this with a straight face I've failed myself.
I love Megan. The speeches she would make on the show. Born This Way was so inspiring and always made me cry. She's an incredible person and I hope she's doing ok these days.
These people have the self-love and self-respect that many of us lack.
Well, not to rain on your parade, but it's easier to be happier when you're more simple minded. And no, that's not an insult. Critical thinking makes us more capable, but forces us to overanalyze ourselves.
In some ways, these people are blessed.
@@Irisicaaa damn💀
They are very pure, innocent, honest type of people and i think they get made fun of alot not only for there unique brain chemistry but also because of jealousy believe it or not.ive felt it in my youth. "Normal" people just dont have it in them to love themselves and others on a consistent basis like that, damn near impossible yet a large majority of people with DS seem to do it with ease and that angers some people. They dont like seeing anyone get that much love especially a handicapped person they deem as "lesser" or "second class" even if just unconsciously. Two of my family members have DS if u were wondering y i feel like i can speak on it. Have a great weekend everyone!! The holidays are here!!!

Megan's parents or guardians did a fantastic job in instilling confidence. This was interesting.
She was raised by her mother.
I dont know anything about her, but as a side note, its very possible she could've had to teach herself to be confident and love herself. I personally came from an extremely abusive household and have taught myself to be confident and to love myself, thankfully, and which I am grateful for. I suppose I'm just saying this because if this were the case, I'd hope she gets all of the credit for the confidence she's come to
Omg I love Megan so much! 😭❤️

Mhm, yea..
I love the passion from everyone they’re so positive and showed that their voices matter
“I like children bc I can have fun w them and do anything w them” is wild
My sister has Down Syndrome and she loved this video. She wishes she is an adult a lot and wants to be super independent when she grows up, but she doesn’t see many people with Down Syndrome on TV very often. But this video made her really happy and she said it was super inspiring and gave her a boost of confidence.
See if you can find the episodes of born this way it was a great show
awww 💕
this honestly warmed my heart to read, i hope she works hard and reaches her goals!!
That's so cool!!
my sister does too! she cant quite watch and understand the video yet but im sure she will love it when she's older!
Mathew has a lot of common sense when it comes to having children.
he’s actually hella intelligent
Maybe something a lot more people should think about when considering having children
Did you notice his body language and facial expressions when that other guy started belting out about how he wants to have children? Matthew was just like uhuh 😥🤔🤨😬
He was likely the smartest there (empirically, I mean)

As a Deaf person, it's really nice to see more representation of American Signing Language as in the video, Grace use signing to communicate with her mom. People often do not realize how much useful ASL are for people who are non-verbal or even struggling with verbal (other than just deaf community), because it shows the different ways to access to communicate with parents/caregivers. This video is beautiful
I'd recommend you reach out to Jubilee to do one on deaf people to help gain understanding and respect for your community if your interested. I sent them an email asking them to do one on Jewish people ( as I'm Jewish) and they did !

It’s great when places actually hire disabled people. A lot of places just won’t take the time, care or make accommodations. And even ones that do hire so many of them exploit their disabled employees. There is a 80year old loophole in the federal law (USA) allows companies to pay disabled workers $1 an hour!

I had a co-worker, about fifteen years ago, whose parents had Down syndrome. She was highly intelligent and was very pretty and fashionable. She was the oldest of five children. Nobody really helped her family. She learned very young how to care for her siblings. She wound up with custody of her siblings when she turned eighteen because her brother, then fourteen, got in a fight with his father. The parents were labeled "ill equipped" to take care of teens. She remembers her parents crying when their kids were taken away. After a couple of months, she bought a duplex so that her parents could live at one address and the rest next door. She taught her brother not to be rebellious with their parents and to respect them due to their extra challenges they had faced. I was so amazed at this young lady. It wasn't fair what life threw at her. She still finished college, as well as her siblings. Glad to see that people with Downs have a better quality of life these days.

“Do what you do best, don’t let anyone take you down” godtier quote fr
All of the participants are very high functioning and well spoken. My sister has Down syndrome and it bothers me when people talk to her like she’s a small child or doesn’t understand what they’re saying. Most people with downs are very capable they just need a little extra help in certain areas.
My brother has down syndrome, and he's only 3, but I hope people treat him like a regular person. I'm sorry people don't act normal around your sister :l I agree, people with Down syndrome are very capable, my brother's a really quick learner!
I've worked with kids with down syndrome in school before and it's only really the academics that they're severely delayed. We had a kid with down syndrome who had a NT twin brother and the teachers always treated them equally and the kids never babies the DS twin. We held him to the same expectations in a PE class and he thrived brilliantly from not being babied. Drives me nuts when people treat people with disabilities as babies.
My mom works with kids with Down syndrome and I’m not gonna lie and I have to apologize I thought these were simple minded people at first (I was like 7) and I met one of my mothers students who was nothing short of extraordinary he was so smart and way more advanced than even I was and that day I stop treating it like they were sick but that now there people with own thoughts and dream and feelings and I am so blessed to have met him and others who are just as special
I will admit I assumed all people with Down syndrome were unintelligent & needed assistance in life. Like they were dependent on others. I was never taught otherwise and I didn’t educate myself, but things like this show me how ignorant I am.

The pride and joy the mother's face after she gave her daughter help was such a powerful, emotional thing to witness...what a beautiful heart she has!
I wish more people would understand how hurtful the r word is. I hear it so often and it’s so upsetting to see it be used so casually, since it’s not better than any other slur
What is the r Word?
calm down snowflake ❄️
I feel like every other day I'm disciplining a student for saying the r word, or jokingly asking a friend if they're "sped" for making a small mistake. I hate it so much.
@@flamingoxe5984 Thanks for letting us know you're an awful person. Be quiet now.
And it's ironic because the usage of that word pretty much establishes the person saying it as someone holding society back.
You can learn from them, i love this episode. I love you guys!
Wow I absolutely LOVE this!! My Auntie Kay was the best aunt a kid could ask for ❤️. She was funny, sassy, and most importantly she was extremely loving. I am sad she was born at a time where rarely did people not send their down syndrome baby to an institution, when asked my Grandpa told the hospital absolutely not and he treated her just like everyone else. She wanted to be married to her boyfriend and she wanted kids, but I believe she was forced to have her tubes tied. I miss her so much, she died October 7, 2006 and she took a piece of my heart when she did.
“I wanna have kids because I want to give them the life my mom gave me” 😭😭😭 what an amazing thing it must be to hear that from your own child
ong i read that as soon as that part played
These people shouldn’t be allowed to have kids, Down syndrome is genetic, is is mean and disgusting and evil to pass this on just so you can have kids, when you could adopt (but you should still be required to go through the same tests as able parents)
@@ChatIsThisReal12 wtf me too!! Must be a simulation
@@snaapz3982ME TOO
idk why you would want to give your children a life as a very respected person
“Just go up and say hello. It could be the start of a great relationship.” - YES!!!! 👏🏼 not even a minute into this video and already tearing up.
I’m ur 6 6 6 like lmao
there are so many respects in that room
Matthew was so intelligent and had outstanding motor control it’s so inspirational. The whole bunch was lovely nice to see so many personalities unlike half the robots on social media they are a lot more mature than other our age and just live there life to the full and are proud to be themselves so beautiful 😊
“when she’s angry, she’s probably hungry.” somethings really are universal haha
Are you separating Down syndrome people from everyone else?
@@ComeStayNZ Im sure you’re aware the term “universal” means the opposite of what you’re implying.
@@isela1305 lmao their just reaching you shouldn't reply to them
@@isela1305 I can read it from wrong perspective too, as if "what? As if they' would different from us?"
I know what you meant. It made me smile when he said that 😂
@@isela1305 I think Eatingricebubblz meant that your comment could be intepreted as implying a DS individual would be different, but I understand what you meant.
0:30 ☠️☠️☠️ bro went to the wrong side 😭😭😭😭
he's down for whatever
@@basedonme literally…
what a r-
He even realized this and went to the other side
It’s not just him. Half of them went to the wrong side 😂
Mathew just taught me how to be more confident with myself. They are all great with words of affirmations. This is something i am working on. I love who i am i love myself i can do anything i want to do i am gorgeous i love the way i look. Im loving it ❤
stop the couple when they hugged i could cry how cute
I wasn't able to make one friend during 5 years of my collage while Sean was in this room for like half an hour and already made 5 of them. Dude's amazing and probably rocks the parties.
He also said that his friends brought him there so he had some backstage too lol
Same
thats just having an open mindset.
